POLITICO spoke with Champagne on the sidelines of a weekend event about how he’s thinking about the prospect of a Donald Trump comeback. In the conversation, Champagne effectively sketched out what a pro-Canada sales pitch for Trump and his advisers might look like — emphasizing the country’s vast resources, ambitions for economic growth and historic affinity for the United States.
How do you plan for the economic near term, when you look at policies like CHIPS or the Inflation Reduction Act, and you don’t know whether the next president is going to want to implement them? We would have been reckless not to seize the opportunities as the whole auto sector is retooling, not to be at the rendezvous, as we say in French. I think we’ve positioned North America to be a powerhouse when it comes to the car of the future. At which speed we’re going to get there? You know, if you look at the Model T and the guy in the buggy, it took a few years to get there.
I mean you personally. I don’t mean, what would you like him to think about Canada? What would you like him to know about you?
